Great question! I think kelp has as more i...Matt,<br /><br />Great question! I think kelp has as more intense flavor than dulse. It would be similar to comparing arugula to romaine. I use the dulse like salt.<br /><br />From what I understand kelp has a little more iodine but they are both packed with trace vitamins and minerals. I have bought them both but find dulse to be more neutral. Over the last month I have gotten 6 omnivores to try it and all 6 of them asked me to pick them up some to use as a salt substitute. Dulse granules have 34mg of sodium per teaspoon and the kelp granules have 90mg.<br /><br />If you are looking for something to add a "fishy" flavor the kelp does a better job of replicating that flavor.<br /><br />My cats go crazy over both so I think your dogs would like the dulse too.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-22368622232822042462009-10-22T15:06:54.420-04:002009-10-22T15:06:54.420-04:00Alicia, can you comment on how dulse compares in t...Alicia, can you comment on how dulse compares in taste with kelp? I've been using kelp a bit and giving it to the dogs. From a nutritional standpoint, I can't really justify one over the other. -MattDoc Dufesnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418602994963537265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-23096370799711506422009-10-22T12:21:47.895-04:002009-10-22T12:21:47.895-04:00Shenandoah,

The hubby and I would cook on the weekend and freeze it in single serving portions for the week. It worked fabulously well. Now I only keep 12 or so meals in the freezer for emergencies. It makes life so much easier when things are hectic.<br /><br />Life was so much easier when we weren't so concerned about nutrition. It certainly is easier to stop at a restaurant for dinner or to pick something up. But I wouldn't trade our healthier food for convenience.<br /><br />later,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-87072079830678591082009-10-22T11:39:25.725-04:002009-10-22T11:39:25.725-04:00It looks sooo good!

Even though I enjoy cooking sometimes I am just too busy. Those little single servings come to the rescue a couple of times a month for my husband's lunch.<br /><br />I enjoyed looking at your blog yesterday. Can't wait to see what you do next, especially the sushi. I have a different idea for sushi this week that you may like. Last night I was talking to my Japanese friend at cooking class regarding a different presentation. Hopefully it will work out as well in reality as it looks in my head.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-55092766012964781372009-10-22T05:12:38.764-04:002009-10-22T05:12:38.764-04:00Rose,

He is such a big joker. Maybe I should do a grains post about the nutritional difference of the various whole grains. <br /><br />How are your lentil sprouts doing? I can't wait to hear all about it.<br /><br />Michelle,<br /><br />That is too funny. I mentioned the sodium difference tonight because I said something about at cooking class and no one else had heard it. So I thought it was worth a mention here. Sea salt, which I didn't list above in the post, has similar sodium levels to the iodized salt (2150-2225mg of sodium) depending on the brand. BTW sometimes I write this things and realize what a numbers geek I am.<br /><br />talk to you soon,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-82806951230444572772009-10-22T02:43:47.512-04:002009-10-22T02:43:47.512-04:00I really LOVE the idea of fast (and healthy) meal ...I really LOVE the idea of fast (and healthy) meal from the freezer!!!
